Filter selection Any one of different size AMSOIL Full-Flow Oil Filters and different AMSOIL By- Pass Filters may be used with this mount. Select a full-flow filter that is equivalent larger than the one iginally installed on your vehicle. The larger the filter used, the greater the filtration capacity and the longer the filter life. The by-pass filter should be the largest f which space is available. Use the dimension infmation below as well as the data in diagram A to assist you in selecting your filters. AMSOIL Filters Full-Flow DIA. Height By-Pass DIA. Height EaO26.66.04 EaBP0 4.29 0.44 EaO5*.66 5.9 EaBP00 4.29.25 EaO96.66 4.25 EaBP90* 4.29 5. EaO42.66.92 EaO4.02 4. *Most commonly used filters EaO5 2.92.. Survey the engine compartment f possible mounting locations. The mount should be located in the same area as the existing full-flow filter. Make sure the mounting structure is adequate to carry the weight of the filtration system. 2. The filter mount can be rotated 0 in its mounting brackets. This allows the oil supply and return hoses to enter the mount on either the right left side. Choose the side that will minimize the need f bends in the hoses the need f additional hose fittings. Also, refer to diagram B f preferred mounting angle positions.. When the location has been determined, use the mounting template provided to locate and mark mounting holes. This can be easily done with a center punch and hammer. 4. With a 4 drill bit, drill out the previously marked mounting holes and attach the top mount bracket (BP94). Use the 4 - long 4 bolts, nuts, small washer and fender washers provided. Note the assembly diagram D f details. Using two 6 wrenches socket, tighten to foot-pounds. 5. Apply thread sealant onto the two o-ring adapter fittings (BP29) as noted in diagram E. Install fittings in mount end adjacent to the arrows. Using a wrench tighten to 0 foot-pounds. If desired, optional 90 angle fitting (BK2) 45 fitting (BK22) may be installed at this time. See diagram D. Do not use thread sealant on either end of the angle fittings; tighten to 525-55 inch-pounds,, from finger-tight, rotate an additional 60 6 of a turn. Keep in mind the direction you wish to have the hoses intersect the mount. 6. Apply thread sealant as noted in diagram E to the Allen head o-ring plug (BP9). Using a 5 6 Allen head wrench, install plug in remaining mount pt and tighten to 0 foot-pounds. Note: If optional oil sampling valve is to be used, refer to diagram D and install in place of the Allen head O ring plug. Apply thread sealant to the external threads on all components in the BK kit.. Attach the filter mount (BK09) to the mounting brackets using 4-2 long 4 bolts, nuts and washers provided. Warning: The bolts must be installed so that the nuts are on the side opposite the filter nipples. Failure to do this will result in the bolts hitting the oil filters. Using two 6 wrenches sockets, tighten to foot-pounds. C. Oil Supply. Using an oil drain pan to capture lost oil, remove the existing full-flow engine filter. Clean the gasket seating area on the engine with a lint-free cloth. Take the Spin-on Adapter Gasket (BP96) supplied with the Filter Adapter Kit (sold separately) and compare it to the filter contact surface on the engine. If the gasket is smaller than the contact surface, you will need to use the O-ring Casting (BP60) and the I.D. o-ring supplied. If the gasket fits the contact surface, the o-ring casting and I.D. o-ring should not be used. 2. Temparily assemble the Filter Adapter Kit by sliding the o-ring (BP46) on to the adapter nut (BP40, 404, 405, 406 40), and then slide the adapter nut into the large center hole of the spin-on adapter. (BP402) This can be made easier by applying a small amount of oil on the o-ring.. Thread the spin-on adapter on to the engine and determine the direction in which you would like the hoses to intersect the adapter. Remove the assembly from the engine. 4. Apply thread sealant, as noted in diagram E on the BP29 and the BP 90 fitting. The sealant should be placed on the o-ring side thread only. 5. If you wish to have the hoses intersect the spin-on adapter perpendicular to its top, install the BP29 straight fitting in the adapter nut and the BP 90 fitting on the side of the spin-on adapter, labeled A. Reverse the fitting position if you wish to have the hoses intersect the spin-on adapter parallel to the top of the spin-on adapter. 6. Using a wrench, tighten BP29 straight fitting to 0 foot-pounds. Thread the BP three full turns and position in desired location. Tighten locking nut on fitting 40 4 foot-pounds.. Apply a thin coating of oil on the spin-on adapter gasket and the adapter nut o-ring.. Reassemble adapter and install on engine using the o-ring casting and I.D. o-ring assembly if necessary. Make sure fittings are crectly positioned and tighten adapter retaining nut to 5 40 foot-pounds. D. Oil feed and return lines Note: The hose and hose fittings supplied with this kit have been matched to provide maximum perfmance and life expectancy. Interchanging with other types bands is not recommended and should be avoided. Should additional hose be required, it may be obtained by the foot from AMSOIL INC. by dering part number BP50.. (Oil supply hose) Measure the amount of hose (BP50) you will need to run from the side pt on the spin-on adapter (labeled A) to the pt with arrow pointing IN on the filter mount, also labeled A. Additional length will be required to accommodate engine movement during operation. Also, consider how the hose will be routed. Make sure the hose does not contact any hot moving surfaces sharp edges. Ensure a minimum bend radius of 2 4 is maintained at all cners. Also, bends in hose should not begin at hose fittings. See diagrams C and H f additional detail. Note: Ensure hose has significant additional length to accommodate movement of engine. Note the need f optional 90 fitting. 2. Using a fine-tooth hacksaw utility knife, squarely cut the hose to the proper length.. Install hose fittings (BP60) on both ends of the cut hose. Follow the instructions noted in diagram G. Tools required are one wrench and one 6 wrench vise. Note: Do not use any fm of thread sealant anywhere on the BP60 hose fittings. 4. Route the hose assembly as noted in D.. and connect the hose fittings. Optional 90 fitting (BK2) (BK22) 45 fittings may be installed at this time between the hose fitting and mount spin-on adapter. 5. Using two wrenches, tighten the hose fitting swivel nuts to 525 55 inchpounds, from finger tight, rotate an additional 60 6 of a turn. Note: Do not use any fm of thread sealant anywhere on the hose fittings. 6. (Oil return hose) Repeat steps D. through D.5. Connect hose at the center pt on the spin-on adapter, labeled B and the pt with the arrow pointing Out, on the filter mount, labeled B.
. Use plastic ties (BP46) to secure hose in position and away from potential damage. Trim ties with side cutter. Note: Over-tightening the plastic ties may cause the hose to collapse and restrict oil flow.. Fill the selected full-flow and by-pass filters with the same mot oil being used in the vehicle. Lubricate the filter gaskets with oil and spin filters onto mount. Tighten per instructions on the filter can. E. Start-up procedures. Check that all fittings and hoses are securely attached, and that the hoses are routed properly. 2. Check engine oil level. Fill to full mark if necessary.. With the equipment secured, start the engine and immediately check oil pressure. Note: Pressure may initially take a moment two to rise. Installing the Dual Remote By-Pass System may result in a slight vibration sound in some applications. No harm to the engine will occur. Please contact AMSOIL Technical Services f me infmation. Caution: Carefully check f leaks at fittings, hoses and mount. If leaks are observed, STOP ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, repair leaks and continue. 4. After engine has warmed, shut off and re-check engine oil level. Top off as necessary. 5. Recd equipment/operating hours and date of installation. F. Periodic maintenance. Periodic visual inspection of the fittings and hoses is recommended. Check f leaks, hose deteriation and cuts. Repair and/ replace as necessary. 2. Refer to Recommended Filter Change Interval chart f servicing intervals.. To change the filter elements: a. Ensure engine is off and use caution as the engine, oil and filter may be hot and could result in injury. b. Using a filter wrench, remove the filter elements. Dispose properly. c. Clean the filter gasket contact areas on the mount with a clean, lint-free rag. d. Lubricate the new filter gaskets with clean oil grease. e. Fill filters as full as possible with engine oil. f.

Diagram H Hose routing examples. Provide f length change In straight hose installations allow enough slack in the hose line to provide f changes in length that will occur when pressure is applied. This change in length can be from +2% to -4%. 2. Avoid twisting Do not twist hose during installation. This can be determined by the printed layline on the hose. Pressure applied to a twisted hose can cause hose failure loosening of connections.. Protect from hazardous environment Keep hose away from hot parts. High ambient temperature will shten hose life. If you can not route it away from the heat source, insulate it. 4. Avoid mechanical strain Use elbows and adapters in the installation to relieve strain on the assembly, and to provide easier, neater installations that are accessible f inspection and maintenance. B.00 RADIUS 6.00 DIAMETER 5. Use proper bend radius Keep the bend radius of the hose as large as possible to avoid collapsing of the hose and restriction of flow. Follow catalog specs on minimum bend radii. 6. Use proper bend radius (cont.) Maximum bend radius is measured on the inside bend of the hose. To determine minimum bend, divide the total distance between ends (B length) by 2. F example, if the diameter is 6, minimum bend radius is.. Secure f protection Install hose runs to avoid rubbing abrasion. Use clamps to suppt long runs of hose to keep hose away from moving parts. It is imptant that the clamps do not allow the hose to move. This movement will cause abrasion and premature hose failure.. Avoid Improper Hose Movement Make sure relative motion of the machine components produces bending rather than twisting of the hose. Hose should be routed so that the flex is in the same plane as the equipment movement.
